4: Units with recuperation can recover from afflictions.
5: If you don't take damage, you won't get afflictions (barring special magical spells and effects)

And speaking of Jaguar Warriors:

6: When you change shape automatically, you have a chance to heal afflictions. This applies to Jaguar Warriors transforming to/from were form, to Oni transforming to/from spirit form, to Hydras losing heads, to Dragon pretenders reverting to human form, etc.

In one game I had a diseased Jag warrior, and detached him from the army into the province. 20 or so turns after I was surprised seeing the jag still there, but healed up without disease.

Guess it was secondshape in action.

Huh, weird. Were there any battles there in the interim? If not, I wonder whether he turned into his secondshape upon hitting 0 HP in man-form, and then immediately switched back or something. Weird, anyway.

Ah yes - units with a secondshape that activates on death (and who revert to the original form after combat) react oddly to disease. The same sort of thing happens with Black Sorcerers, I think. When their normal form dies of disease the secondshape activates, but then they promptly revert to the original shape and have a chance to heal afflictions.
